What I think is right is right.... I disagree with what the mainstream thinks is right most of the time.

I have to write a paper on my own personal morals for my Ethics in Business course.

I find that I have strong morals, but wasnt too sure until I had that course.

I try to do everything the right way. I picked the fourth one, I am religious though, but I don't try to have good morals because of that, I do it because I feel the need to do so.

I have morals. Not sure if I am a moralist. I think murder is wrong, I am also in favor of the death penalty, some say that is a contradiction.

Your right. I also believe in the rule of law. I guess if somebody murders somebody and are guilty and the penality is death then I am fine with that. So I would never murder anybody unless maybe it is a matter of life or death. It would be a horrible thing to do.

I have a set of morals for myself, but they are derived practically, not arbitrarily through tradition or religion.

In all fairness to the TC, I don't think moralism and religion are connected in any way. Some of the most religious people I no are the void of moralism.

I would consider myself quite moral, I always think about what I'm doing and how it will affect others and whether it shows strength of character as I'm not religious I use my moral philosophy knowledge to justify my morality

HELL no. I'll be the first to tell you I've got terrible morals.

For the most part, anyway. I do acknowledge there are things in life too sacred to be treated with ill intent.

Not quite a moralist, as my views of what is right or wrong tend to vary much in a small amount of time.

Nonetheless, i do have some bases. Though they are nor socially, nor morally based. They are the fruit of many years of philosophical intervention and introspection.

Morals arent very solid.

Everyone has different morals, and I think people have the right to live the way they see fit as long as they dont hurt me or anyone else.

Yes. A great example of this are my morals. I don't feel that it is wrong to steal if you want something and can't afford it.

I'm moralist with my-self but not with other ppl. I don't like people who try to make the moral to others, that's why I don't do it except if something is really wrong.
